Fortis Report post Posted May 17, 2013 yep thats mine everything is stock. i have a remote switch which can open the valves at idle (instead of at 3k rpm+). thats it! thanks very much for saying so. i love the noise. i never get bored of that angry v12 lambo scream as it builds up to the redline. so angry, so mechanically pure. videos none at the moment; but some guys on the trip made some. especially some Kuwaiti guy had go-pros and was following me for a very long part. but i forgot to get his email/phonenumber No way that's standard, it sounded better than any car there, are you serious? We need video proof now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LamboNutter Report post Posted May 17, 2013 Yeah, your car is amazing! I enjoyed it very much. I took a lot of video. If I have any good footage of your car I'll get send it to you. Tksvm was great to meet you Kris. excellent! fingers crossed! pity we never got any driving done together. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LamboNutter Report post Posted May 17, 2013 Totally agree with you! The SV looks so gorgeous in red, and the manual gearbox makes it even more incredible! Congrats Thanks very much. I never get bored of the colour. It looks different everytime depending on the lighting / sun on it. Yes the manual, is fantastic. Such an old school feel; having to blip it on up shifts (unless when driving in full-attack-pedal-to-the-metal mode ), and double blipping on downshifts to get the shifts through smoothly. Also it definitely needs time to let it warm up properly otherwise the gearbox is almost not useable. When going full out, the gearshifts can be done extremely quickly, using delicacy and force! Plus its lighter than an e-gear; so should be about 50kg lighter than an aventador. Hence its neck and neck with my friends' Aventadors!

LamboNutter Report post Posted May 17, 2013 No way that's standard, it sounded better than any car there, are you serious? We need video proof now haha yeah, fully standard. I have thought of putting a Kreissegg on it, and thats why i was begging Kris/RaggingBull to bring his SV and not yet another Aventador as i wanted to hear it in real. but I think i will keep her fully standard; dont want to affect the value of mine by modding it; since its such a unique 6speed SV. great to hear u saying that! where did you hear me? did you hear me at full blast/acceleration? i would love to have heard mine or videos of some fly-bys on the highways! BTW: i could not find a "multi-qoute" reply button .... sorry about that Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

( It was absolutely filthy by the time it got home - I had to wash it twice!)

feelingBULLISH Report post Posted May 18, 2013 That 350 GT convertible is stunning! Got anymore pictures? Do you remember what country it was registered in? Another highlight of the festivities was the arrival Saturday morning of Valentino Balboni, Lamborghini’s longtime test driver, in a 350 GT convertible – one of two made. Mr. Balboni had just completed restoring it in a marathon round-the-clock thrash. “I have worked on it for six months, and I have just finished in the hours after midnight,” Mr. Balboni said. “I drove it here from the factory; I did not want it brought on a truck. It started to rain as I drove into town, and I had to stop in a gas station until the rains stopped, because I did not have time to restore the convertible top.” http://wheels.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/05/13...-a-new-concept/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
